About the Organization

For more than 27 years, Vital Voices Global Partnership has been investing in women leaders solving the world’s greatest challenges. We are “venture catalysts,” identifying those with a bold vision for change and partnering with them to make that vision a reality. We scale and accelerate their impact through long-term investments to expand the skills, connections, capacity, and visibility of women leaders.

Vital Voices provided early support for leaders who went on to become Nobel Peace Prize Laureates, U.S. Youth Poet Laureates, prime ministers, and breakthrough social entrepreneurs. Since its founding in 1997, Vital Voices has directly supported more than 47,000 women change makers across 188 countries and built the most powerful global network of women leaders who are daring to reimagine a more equitable world for all.

About the Fellowship

The Vital Voices Global Fellowship (VVGF) 2025 unites women leaders from diverse fields to enhance their skills, foster collaboration, and exchange ideas. This 10-month program brings together fellows across two key pillars—VV Venture (social entrepreneurship) and VV Engage (public leadership)—while also encouraging cross-sector synergies to drive systemic change.

Through this fellowship, Vital Voices aims to amplify the impact of women addressing the world’s most pressing challenges, facilitate meaningful collaboration among changemakers, and equip participants with the tools to advance the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Fellows Will Receive:

• Leadership training through Vital Voices Leadership Journey.
• Pillar-specific skill development tailored to social entrepreneurs (VV Venture) and public leaders (VV Engage). 
• Opportunities to expand cross-pillar collaborations by building partnerships with public leaders, social entrepreneurs, changemakers, and civil society leaders to drive systemic change and drive innovative solutions.
• Access to the Vital Voices Community Hub and leverage the cohort and Vital Voices Global Network of thousands of changemakers for mentorship, peer learning, and strategic connections to amplify impact, support growth, and advance goals.
• Attend an in-person convening in the third quarter of 2025 (location TBC), to deepen learning, relationship building, and collaboration.
• A certificate of completion upon successfully completing the program.
